A Deeper Look at Instill AI

So Much Content, So Many Insights, So Little Time

We are at an interesting time in business and computing. For decades, companies have accumulated massive amounts of unstructured content—documents, videos, audio files, diagrams, and more. In late 2022 and into early 2023, generative AI went mainstream, allowing people to put unstructured content to work by generating answers to questions, summarizing content, and even creating new content.

Yet, even with AI breakthroughs, knowledge workers often find themselves between a rock and a hard place. They’re caught between chatbots like ChatGPT, which are simple to use, but hard to tailor to custom or private content and workflows. Knowledge workers struggle to:

1. Load and manage large volumes of custom content
2. Have the right AI system for their specific needs
3. Rely on AI over time—it forgets past conversations and can’t build on previous context.

On the flip side, custom AI software solves the “fit-for-purpose” problem—but it’s expensive, time-consuming, and hard to maintain.

We created Instill AI to eliminate this gap.

Instill AI: Powerfully Simple AI Knowledge Agent

Instill AI is a knowledge agent that combines the power and accuracy of a bespoke AI solution into a simple, chat-based experience. Using it is as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Build – Set up a smart, structured table to shape how your information is captured and enriched.
2. Load – Upload any number or type of files—Instill AI extracts and organizes key insights that accumulate over time.
3. Act – Explore your data, ask deeper questions, and generate reports—each interaction enhances context and improves results.

Instill AI is as easy to use as a chatbot, but it does some extraordinary things behind the scenes. It uses AI to generate workflows for your information that create a uniquely new AI experience:

• It builds structured knowledge to automate file extraction and data enrichment workflows.
